That might be a bit of a stretch, but Vegas isn’t giving them much of a chance this upcoming season. In fact, New York has been given the worst Super Bowl odds ever, according to some Vegas insiders.

The Jets will open the season as 1,000-1 to win the Super Bowl at the Westgate SuperBook in Las Vegas. To put in perspective how bad that is, last year, the Browns and 49ers started the season with the worst odds at 200-1.

“[I’ve] never seen any NFL team this high before any games are played,” Ed Salmons, a 30-year veteran Las Vegas oddsmaker, said according to ESPN.com.

While 1000-1 may seem steep, is it really unfair considering the dearth of talent on the Jets roster?

New York has made it clear that it is willing to sacrifice this season in order to build towards the future. The Jets have cut several veterans and will have as many as 10 rookies on the opening day roster. They also have, arguably, the worst starting quarterback in the NFL in Josh McCown.

“I think the Jets will probably be the lowest team we’ve ever power-rated,” Salmons said.

The next closest team to the Jets are their division rival Bills at 200-1.

In case you were wondering, the Patriots are the favorites to repeat as Super Bowl champs at 11-4.
